Eh, Octopath looks nice, but it looks like one of those games that doesn't actually have a lot of content and relies on replaying it

Please don't tell me this is basically a SaGa game that the Bravely Default team is doing because that is going to make me even more hype for this goddamn game.

I still don't like the art (the sprites look cool but the 3D backgrounds are ugly and clash horribly) but if it delivers on the premise the gameplay will be rad

I’m sure they won’t look all that nice but I’ll definitely pickup Doom and Wolfenstein on Switch. Those are two some the very few games on other platforms I wanted to try so that’s neat.

They mentioned "if you like smash bros" during the Samus 3ds, which is probably why it was a leaked tag maybe?
